I used to say itinerant1 could have done equally well with 500 AH of AGMs by swapping them out as required. Now it is not so clear.
The difference now is that he is taking advantage of the LFP high draw ability to run his air conditioner.
It may be that the AGM option would only do that at higher SOCs while the LFP will at lower SOCs
That and the shifting money side where replacement AGMs are going up in price is tilting the balance for his scenario IMO.
How it plays out for recent RV LFPers will not be known for several years yet whether their LFPs were worth it vs another five years or so with another set of FLAs.
